Washington -- The United States will remove North Korea from its list of state sponsors of terrorism within 45 days, as long as it can be verified that North Korean leaders have kept their promises and dismantled their nuclear bomb-making program, says National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley.
"The president was committed and did today notify the Congress of his intent to lift North Korea's status as a state sponsor of terrorism," Hadley said. This action and lifting final economic sanctions under the Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA) carry with them "some consequences in terms of easing sanctions," he said.
North Korean officials gave their nuclear declaration to Chinese foreign ministry officials June 26 in Beijing as part of protracted negotiations to get North Korea to eliminate its nuclear weapons development program. China has acted as host and chairman of the Six-Party Talks that also include North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Russia and the United States.
At a June 26 White House news briefing, Hadley said lifting TWEA sanctions will have three consequences. "They involve some requirements of licensing for Americans who want to import goods from North Korea to the United States. There are some provisions that affect U.S. persons participating in shipments [from] third countries to North Korea," he said.
"And finally there are some prohibitions with respect to certain financial transfers by the North Korean government. These will be lifted."
Two other prohibitions associated with the TWEA will remain in place: preventing U.S. citizens from using ships registered under the North Korean flag, and the freezing of certain kinds of assets that were first frozen in 2000, Hadley said.
Hadley said North Korea has to do two essential things: halt all nuclear weapons development now and in the future, and disclose everything it has done previously including supplying equipment and know-how to others.
"We've made it very clear in this process and in the documents that constitute the declaration that we have concerns about their past activities in Syria and in the enrichment area, and that raises questions about whether they have, in fact, are engaging in none of that activity today," he said.
"We've made those concerns clear. The North Koreans acknowledge those concerns."
Getting to the bottom of plutonium enrichment and nuclear-technology proliferation requires further obligations from North Korea, he said, but ultimately it also will lead to a normalization of relations.
Among the things still to be understood, Hadley said, is North Korea's uranium ore mining and processing. "That's why access to the people involved in the nuclear program is going to be very important because, at the end of the day, those are programs driven less by material and more by brains," he said.
STATE SPONSORS LIST
North Korea has been on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list since January 20, 1988. It was placed on the list following the 1987 bombing of a South Korean passenger plane that killed 115 people. Other nations on the list include Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria.
Iraq was removed from the list after the 2003 invasion by a U.S.-led coalition to topple the regime of Saddam Hussein, and Libya was removed from the list in 2006 after it renounced support for terrorist groups. Countries on the list are believed to have repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism.
The countries face restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance; a ban on defense exports and sales; certain controls over exports of so-called dual-use items, which can be used for civilian or military uses; and miscellaneous financial and other restrictions.
